Description:
Tucson: Balkow Print Co, 1954. First Edition. Octavo. 2nd printing. 58 pages, colored illustrations: Wheeler-Jones, the maker of the Mission Inn kachinas, pictures the Hopi katchina Sio Humis Taamu (see Fig. i). This latter katchina carries yucca whips in each hand, often has a basket on his back and threatens to whip or carry away disobed Ahulani -- Nuvak -- Sio -- Owa and Owa Mana -- Tacab Yebitcai --Eototo -- Alosaka -- Pautiwa -- Sio Sholako and Sholako Mana, Tawa is a very important Sun-god of the Hopi ceremonials, and this particular costume is both picturesque and interesting in detail. The body is painted red pigment for the glow of the sun rays and for the beauty in birds and flowers that is called forth by the warmth of the sun. Added to this coloring are both green and red for all the spring joys, birds, flowers, and good crops. A fine copy bound in pictorial stiff paper wraps lettered black. Exceptionally nice.
